Natural Fiber Rugs & Carpet

Natural fibers are derived from renewable sources such as grasses, plants, and wool. These fibers are harvested and transformed into materials that can be crafted or woven into a myriad of products, including rugs and carpet.

Our collection features natural fiber rugs and carpet made from sisal, seagrass, jute, coir, abaca, and wool. Prized for their distinctive textures, timeless appeal, and versatility, these materials remain favorites among homeowners and designers alike.

Learn more about each fiber's characteristics, including durability, sustainability, and ideal applications, by exploring our individual collection pages:

• Sisal: Sisal is one of the most durable and popular natural fibers. Made from the agave plant, sisal rugs have soothing colorways, inviting patterns and arresting textures. 

• Jute: Jute rugs are thick and chunky, with a softness that is irresistible. 

• Coir: The ultimate in durability is coir, a tough fiber from the coconut husk with a deep golden hue. Ideal for hard wearing rugs or tiles. 

• Seagrass: Seagrass rugs and carpets feature smooth, non-porous fibers that naturally resist staining while creating a clean, textured look.

• Wool: A wool area rug or wool carpet installed wall-to-wall brings warmth, comfort, and natural beauty to any space. Wool is renewable, durable, and timeless.

Lifestyle is an important consideration when choosing a rug or carpet. Natural materials such as sisal, jute, seagrass, coir, and wool each offer unique advantages, from sustainability and biodegradability to durability and comfort. Learn more about each material on the collection pages above, then consider how your space will be used.

Even in busy homes, offices, and shops, you can still enjoy the look of natural fibers. Here are a few ideas to bring the natural fiber look into your space with added peace of mind:

• Spray-on sealants for natural fiber rugs help reduce the rate at which the fibers absorb spills.

• Sisal Tiles are a flexible, cost-effective way to bring the look of natural sisal into your space. Their modular design makes it easy to create custom-sized rugs and fit irregular layouts, while individual tiles can be replaced if one becomes stained or damaged.

• SisalPLUS offers the texture and timeless appeal of natural sisal with enhanced stain resistance. Each fiber is treated with a stain-resistant, fire-retardant coating before weaving, creating a more practical choice for active households while preserving the classic woven look and natural color palette.

• SynSisal® is our exclusive collection of sisal-look flooring made from regenerated ECONYL® nylon. It delivers the texture and appearance of natural sisal with contract-grade durability, enhanced stain resistance, a softer feel underfoot, and a range of refined colors and patterns.

Sisal is a coarser fiber and some people find it too rough for bare feet. Look to our chunkier sisal weaves such as Munich or Berlin for a softer feel underfoot. Chunky sisals have a smoother surface that will continue to soften over time.

Also, our sisal blends weave cozy wool and premium sisal into arresting patterns for a more gentle feel underneath. Seagrass and jute carpets are softer than sisal, but if you want a plush, cushiony feel for your feet, nothing beats our collection of wool carpet.

Natural fiber rugs grace the spaces of many different kinds of living situations and design styles. Discover the right weave for your dream interior with our curated collections and these inspired ideas:

• A bespoke sisal-wool rug like Sisalana or the gorgeous Abaca from Limited Edition makes a sensational statement in an urban industrial loft or an elegant penthouse apartment.

• Seagrass rugs are a standard in homes with coastal glamour, cottage or traditional interiors. Calypso Seagrass is a beautiful foundation for any room.

• A tiger-eye construction as seen in Dragon Grass or Monoblet creates a rug with a generous texture that melds well with modern farmhouse, contemporary, or scandi design.

• If organic modern or Asian zen is your vibe, a soothing seagrass runner or area rug from Biscayne or the texture-rich Fiji Jute are flawless choices. 

• Chevron and herringbone carpet bring a vintage charm to contemporary spaces, recalling the elegant parquet wood floors of grand hotels and mid-century houses.

Sisal and other natural fiber floor coverings require diligent upkeep. We recommend regular vacuuming to remove dirt and dust from the rug fibers, a no-shoes in the house policy, and a walk-off mat upon entry into your home or business. Spills and accidents must be attended to promptly, as staining can happen quickly.

For an added layer of protection, you may choose to apply a spray-on sealant for natural fiber rugs and carpets that will act as a barrier to reduce the risk of staining. All of our weaves come with guidelines for care and maintenance that are accessible under the Care tab on each weave page.

If this level of care seems daunting, find the right fit for your lifestyle by exploring our SisalPLUS family, or any of our sisal-look options from our exclusive SynSisal® collection, the Rols collection, or any of our synthetic sisal rugs. These weaves offer additional stain protection, myriad patterns and textures, and the natural look you want.

Yes. Wool, sisal and coir are among the most durable and tough natural fibers. Seagrass ranks up there as well, while jute is slightly softer.

Sisal, coir, and seagrass stand up to heavy traffic in entryways, hallways, stairs, living rooms, and other gathering spaces. Contract Coir Tiles and Contract Coir blend coir and sisal for contract-grade use in boutiques, offices, and stylish shops.

Our stain-resistant SisalPLUS family carries contract-grade ratings and an array of tonal colorways in classic sisal construction.
